With over 10 years of experience in film, commercials, and social media content, I focus on more than just visuals — every time I try to tell a story, whether in a feature film or a 15-second clip. Along the way, I've explored not only different tools and editing styles but also how to hold audience attention and shape the rhythm. Recently, I've started integrating AI tools into my workflow to make the process faster and more efficient. What I love most about editing is the constant discovery — every project opens up a new world. I'm an open and easy-going person which makes me enjoy being part of a team, but I'm also able to work independently knowing how to manage multiple deadlines and projects. My expertise covers documentary and fiction film editing, social media content creation, commercial editing for diverse clients, and motion design using Adobe After Effects. I also have experience in scriptwriting, directing, and concept creation, backed by formal education in film, theatre, and TV and cultural grants. I am passionate about storytelling and delivering powerful visual experiences through video.
